RISInterannual Bottom Pressure Signals in the Australian–Antarctic and Bellingshausen Basins
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nalyses of large-scale (>750 km) ocean bottom pressure pb fields, derived from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and from an Estimating the Circulation & Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) state estimate, reveal ...
Buoyancy-Driven Interannual Sea Level Changes in the Tropical South Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: inear models of dynamical ocean adjustment to wind field changes, local atmospheric driving, and eastern boundary forcing are often invoked to explain observed patterns of interannual regional sea level variability. While ...
Annual Cycle in Southern Tropical Indian Ocean Bottom Pressure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he seasonal monsoon drives a dynamic response in the southern tropical Indian Ocean, previously observed in baroclinic Rossby wave signatures in annual sea level and thermocline depth anomalies. In this paper, monthly mass ...
Importance of Circulation Changes to Atlantic Heat Storage Rates on Seasonal and Interannual Time Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: cean heat budgets and transports are diagnosed to elucidate the importance of general circulation changes to Atlantic Ocean heat storage rates. The focus is on low- and midlatitude regions and on seasonal and interannual ...
Mechanisms of Global-Mean Steric Sea Level Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: lobal-mean sea level change partly reflects volumetric expansion of the oceans because of density change, otherwise known as global-mean steric sea level change. Owing to nonlinearities in the equation of state of seawater, ...
Quantifying Dispersal and Connectivity of Surface Waters Using Observational Lagrangian Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: robability distribution functions of displacement are central to Lagrangian statistics and the study of fluid dispersal. A method for computing marginal probability distributions of passive tracer dispersal from Lagrangian ...
Vertical Structure of Ocean Pressure Variations with Application to Satellite-Gravimetric Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he nature of ocean bottom pressure variability is considered on large spatial scales and long temporal scales. Monthly gridded estimates from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) Release-05 and the new version ...
Accounting for Gravitational Attraction and Loading Effects from Land Ice on Absolute Sea Level
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractGravitational attraction and loading (GAL) effects associated with ongoing long-term changes in land ice are expected to cause spatially varying trends in absolute sea level ?, as measured by satellite altimeters. ...
Intraseasonal Sea Level Variability in the Persian Gulf

Change of the Global Ocean Vertical Heat Transport over 1993–2010
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA dynamically and data-consistent ocean state estimate during 1993?2010 is analyzed for bidecadal changes in the mechanisms of heat exchange between the upper and lower oceans. Many patterns of change are consistent ...
